While the 76ers' comic five were sweating on the training ground, the Warriors' charter plane had arrived at Philadelphia International Airport, and they were greeted by a Category 6 wind mixed with snowflakes that made them complain from warm Southern California.

Fortunately, the NBA court is not an open-air field like American football, otherwise the game would have been played in the wind and snow, and the Warriors players have balanced it at this point, at least they are much happier than the Oakland Raiders football team, who are also here as visitors, and their opponents are the mighty Phillips of Philadelphia.

For the Warriors, this game is a crucial revenge battle, because they can only play the 76ers twice in a season, and if they can't draw this time at the Wells Fargo Center Arena, they will face the embarrassing situation of being swept by a weak team, which is probably unacceptable to them right now, especially since this game is the last game before the All-Star break.

On the other hand, on the 76ers side, Tony Rotten's injury has not fully recovered, playing time is not guaranteed, McCarvey's state is also good and bad, the only Ding Wei who can be pinned on high hopes has also been pushed to the forefront because of the ups and downs of the state of these games, and now a large number of reporters can be seen every training day in the Philadelphia Orthopedic Hospital Arena, and the vast majority of them are Chinese, and even many tabloid media have begun to track Ding Wei around the clock, Trying to find some fierce information through his private life that may affect his state.

Brett Brown was annoyed that he now had to deal with at least twice as many reporters every day as before, and if it was a positive story, most of them were ill-intentioned, and even though he had repeated the official diplomatic phrase of no comment many times, it still couldn't stop their burning enthusiasm.

It's not easy for the 76ers to play this season, so do you have the time to report on our opponents?

That's what Bret Brown is thinking, but it's a shame he can't get it out in front of the media.

Fortunately, what allowed Brett Brown to put his mind at ease a little was that the 76ers' players took this game more seriously than he expected, and he could clearly feel it. Ding Wei is gradually playing his role in training, and in the face of the lazy behavior of some teammates, he no longer chooses to be silent, but leads his teammates through his words and actions. This is something that McCarvey, as the captain, has not been able to do.

Now that Ding has done what he should do, then I, as a coach, can't go on like this......

When the reporters once again surrounded Coach Brown, who was about to go home after training, he finally made his voice his voice for the first time, having been prevaricating with no comment:

"We understand the media's eagerness to find out the truth. But there's a big discrepancy between the truth you want and the objective facts, there is nothing wrong with the current 76ers, every player is in top shape, if anything, it's that the rise of the 76ers is not what some teams want, what they want to see is still a 17-game losing streak at the beginning of the season, not a difficult opponent. So I want to ask all the coaches and players in the league a question......"

"Does this kind of 76 people make you feel scared?"

Coach Brown's tone was very calm, but the reporters sensed a decisive murderous air in it. Although they had long expected such a high-profile and domineering response from the other party, when this moment came, they couldn't accept it.

Is this still the 76 people who were bullied?

……

"Hehehe, I didn't expect Brett to be angry too." In the Spurs' coaching office, Vicky put down the newspaper in his hand and said with a smile to his assistant Eto Messina that since Budenholzer and Brown left the Spurs, the man in front of him has naturally become his chief assistant coach.

However, the 76ers want to make the playoffs this season. It's still hard...... "Unlike Budenholzer and Brown, the current Messina does not have the ambition to take charge of a team, and it is this mentality that made Vicky finally choose him among his assistant coaches, and the departure of two consecutive head assistant coaches also made him realize that the current Spurs need more stability.

"It's hard to say next season. I even had a vague hunch that Brett might be able to walk across from us faster than Mike. Although he was still smiling, there was a little more seriousness and solemnity in his tone, as the head coach, he is very aware of the recent changes in the 76ers, although this change can be of very limited use at the moment, but if the 76ers can maintain this state for a full regular season. Then it's not very difficult for them to get into the playoffs.

"Maybe." Messina smiled noncommittally, he didn't care about the feud between his two predecessors.

……

"Now everyone is probably expecting us to make a fool of ourselves in front of the Warriors, but in today's game, they don't want to take away a victory easily!"

In the face of his players, Brett Brown issued such a pre-game mobilization order, this game will inevitably attract the attention of countless pairs of eyes, but this attention may not be well-intentioned, and even many media have made a prediction in advance that "the 76ers will be beaten by the Warriors on the road", which also makes him very unhappy.

"I know it's hard to beat the Warriors, but haven't we beaten them once before? Besides, we are waiting for this game at home, and they are coming here in the wind and snow, I believe that many Warriors players are still complaining about the weather in Philadelphia these days, what does this mean? Even God is on our side. If we can beat them once, we don't care if we beat them a second time, let them roll back to their warm nest with their wounds all over and cry, we're real men standing in the snow and ice! ”

Brett Brown's words caused a burst of laughter from the players, and the initial nervousness gradually turned into excitement and pride, yes, they are the regular season champions, but we have a chance to complete the home and away double against them!

"We were humiliated by them on our home turf and if we want to give it back to them, today is the only chance of the season, and I'm sure all of you don't want to carry that humiliation on your back for the next season, because then even if we win the championship, we're still going to have a thorn in our hearts, and now we're going to pull that thorn out and stab it in their hearts!" We're going to show them on the pitch that they were able to steal a win on our home turf because we took a nap once in a while, and when we wake up, we're going to be invincible! ”

Steve Cole punched the tactical board in the visiting team's locker room, and even the magnetic piece with the number on it seemed to move because of the punch, which shows that he is also bound to win this game.

"Let's play, boys, and show them what the real 76ers are!"

"Show your strength in front of your opponents, Oakland warriors! We will win! ”

When the spotlight hit the center circle of the Wells Fargo Center Arena, all the fans in the stadium tensed their nerves, and the big battle was about to start!

War! War! War! (To be continued.) )
